About…The Rolex Reference Page
The Rolex Reference started back in 2004 as www.rolexreferencepage.com as an outlet for my passion and enthusiasm for the Rolex watch company and the wonderful watches they produce. In 2010, Rolex requested I hand over the domain name rolexreferencepage.com (due to the word Rolex being in the domain name) and the site URL changed to www.luxurytyme.com. Today, Luxury Tyme: The Rolex Reference Page remains the single best resource for those seeking information about Rolex watches.

When I’m not doing all of the above or traveling around the world in search of my next great story or watch, I enjoy home theater, cars, video games (Xbox! Wii!) and of course travel.
Really like the website, very informative. Asking for some advice, I inherited my dad’s 1950′s Oyster Precision that he got during the Korean War and want to get it fixed/restored. Any suggestions on where to get it fixed? Doesn’t seem like Rolex does these from what I can gather but I’d like to have it done right.
Love the website!!! I’ve consulted it many times for information.
Are you still running the Omega website as well? Could you please post a link to it?
Hi David – there’s a banner and links to The Seamaster Reference Page on the homepage here at LuxuryTyme.
Hi John,
I have owned a rolex sub date 16610 since 2003 and have just come across your website and released the dive extension on the bracelet for the first time. your right about the lack of instruction info from rolex. I tried to release the extension when I first bought the watch but found if difficult and gave up as I do not dive and did not want to damage the bracelet. thanks for the info regards Dave
You’re most welcome Dave – glad you found the article helpful!
